Interior minister and Merkel have been at odds over approach

(AP-ANSA) - BERLIN - Germany's dpa news agency is reporting
that the leader of the partner party in Chancellor Angela
Merkel's government is resigning as interior minister and as
head of the Bavarian-only Christian Social Union due to strife
with Merkel over her migrant policies.

Dpa reported Sunday night that unidentified people present at
a meeting of CSU leaders said Interior Minister Horst Seehofer
was planning to announce his resignation.

Seehofer and Merkel have been at odds over Germany's approach
to mass migration. Seehofer has threatened to turn away certain
categories of asylum-seekers at the country's borders, while
Merkel insists on a solution that involves other European
countries.
